World’s best travel chatbot

The chatbot, developed by Paris-based startup Hopstay, is designed to answer questions & provide dynamic information to tourists visiting The Faroe Islands and is available on Facebook Messenger and is designed to handle typical questions received by the tourism office. This ranges from experience-based queries such as finding restaurants, booking tours and discovering events to practical queries such as obtaining visas and renting cars.

The key objectives of the joint project are to reduce the social media support burden, transition Visit Faroe Islands into a 24/7 service and improve visitor engagement by providing a pocket tool that can instantly provide dynamic destination information in an accessible manner.

Without effective ways to get the message out then you are simply lost amidst the many other travel destinations

Enhancing the Travel Experience

Currently, the chatbot can respond to queries relating to approximately 300 different content types and can handle more than 10,000 different questions. These numbers are expected to increase daily as Hopstay continues to develop its’ chatbot framework for destinations based on user inputs.

“Unspoiled, Unexplored and Unbelievable. The Faroe Islands show great potential as a tourist destination. Our country’s uniqueness makes it the perfect experience for fussy travellers. But without effective ways to get the message about our great isles across to the traveller then the Faroe Islands are simply lost amidst the many other travel destinations.

That is why we as a small team embrace technology that can be of great assistance to us in our effort to get our message across. That is why we welcome Saga, our digital assistant, on board.With Saga on board our little team will have more ways of providing efficient and helpful service 24/7 to the increasingly growing number of people interested in our little destination”
